This was a great little find. Perfect for me and well priced given the huge cost of everything in Switzerland. I stayed for 2 nights and used it as a base for cycling. It has a self-catering kitchen plus a small residents' dining area and lounge. I found this useful for breakfast and to make myself coffee. I worked in the lounge at one of the tables, which was really handy. Good WiFi made that possible. Because of a Catholic Feast Day, I missed buying groceries so couldn't cook my own dinner. Instead I had an excellent burger from the bar - which was delicious. The staff were lovely.

Simple room at a simple old wooden building - but all was nice and simple in a good way (don’t expect something fancy). The hotel staff were nice and helpful.

All hostels in Wassen

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near entrance to St Gottard tunnel so you can beat the queues. Comfortable room (slightly low on 2nd floor but I am very tall). On site bar, restaurant. Restaurant prices expensive but it's Switzerland I guess! Food quality really good, great breakfast. Residents lounge with games and books. Will return.

    location was brilliant. and the staff were cool really likes the owner he is very pleasant. plus he has a lovely dog. I was late for dinner service and the lady still made me a sandwich so I don’t go hungry. breakfast was good too bikers: there is a safe place to park your bike at the property even though it’s shared bathroom and shower I found it was kept clean so didn’t feel like it was used by many people.

    Location is perfect just prior to the tunnel, from the North. Internet is fast and reliable. Key safe so no need to align arrival times. Fridge is convenient. Spacious for its price. Parking on its own lot across the street. Firm bed, wide and long enough. Sofa and very spacious terrace for your own. Light from two sides No mosquitos at all! Great pressure on the shower Water Boiler and instant coffee provided Power outlets near the bed: yay Comfy towels, smelling nice Thoroughly clean!
